The Android-based Ouya or Sony’s new PlayStation 4?

galaxynoteapps: 2013 is certainly bound to be an interesting year for the gaming industry, given how new game consoles are bound in hit the retail markets by the third quarter of the year.
(Ouya, PS4, Sony)

OUYA is hardly overpriced BUT they kinda shot themselves in the foot when they announced that each year would see a new OUYA hardware iteration. That was an instant no-no for me and no doubt a lot of other people too.

What are you guys on about? This machine is only $100 which is significantly cheaper than tablets that sport about the same hardware (nVidia Tegra 3). It can also be used as a dev kit to make android based games.

It should also be worth noting that this ISN'T, I repeat, ISN'T in competition with next-gen consoles. So it obviously targets a different audience.

This is just stupid journalism, trying to spark a war that should be non-existent.

This is actually a concern to me. Ive been gaming since atari was the go to home console. When the wii came out no "hardcore" gamers took it seriously but millions of people who never cared about gaming suddenly wanted to play games. I know a lot of people who dont own and never will own a traditional console but spend hours playing with their phones and tablets because gaming is now more accessible to them. Now I'm not saying the ouya will ever dethrone a major console but im sure they will find their niche and people will buy it because they want to play those same types of games but can't see themselves shelling out the money for a ps3 xbox, wii u steambox computer etc. Remember the wii!
